DESIGNED FOR TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY.

The Academy is Innovation Hub’s structured technical training and development programme, designed to help engineers build practical, industry-aligned skills while giving organisations a scalable way to develop future-ready technical capability.

  • Industry-led learning — Training shaped around real technology environments, projects and evolving industry requirements.
  • Practical development — Combine structured learning with hands-on experience, technical application, assessments and project-based development.
  • Future-focused skills — Develop capability across RDK, AI, broadband, embedded systems and connected technologies, including emerging technology areas.
  • Built for engineers — Support graduates, junior engineers and developing technical professionals with a structured pathway to build skills, experience and certification.
  • Built for organisations — Develop technical talent around your technology environment, strengthen internal capability and create a more sustainable talent pipeline.
  • Train-to-Deploy — Connect learning with real-world engineering application, helping talent move from development into practical project contribution.

The Academy connects high-potential engineering talent with the technical training, practical experience and development needed to contribute to modern technology environments. GCS identifies and places emerging talent, while Innovation Hub delivers structured, project-aligned technical development — creating a pathway from potential to engineering capability.

  • Find the Talent – GCS sources and selects high-potential graduate and junior engineers, opening access to a broader and more diverse technology talent pool.
